Codefendants - "Art of Protest" (Official Music Video)

Codefendants - "Art of Protest" (Official Music Video) Codefendants, the punk trio consisting of Sam King (Get Dead), Julio “Ceschi” Ramos, and NOFX mastermind and producer Fat Mike, have released their sophomore album LIFERS. Known for defying convention, the band once again blurs genre lines on this latest album. As Fat Mike puts it, LIFERS invites listeners to “expect the unexpected,” weaving together elements of a “Little Bossa Nova, little Hardcore, little Simon and Garfunkel…” "Art of Protest" has been a fan favorite since the album's release. We are thrilled to present the official music video LIFERS, out now: https://thisiscrimewave.ffm.to/codefe... LIFERS: Vinyl, Merch, and more! https://www.stupidradmerch.com/codefl... LYRICS: Became a grown man too young these two eyes seen too much blood told a few lies mostly to the fuzz lived a couple lives this is my third one don't wanna live it like I'm on the run or romanticize struggle like it's fun trying to survive ain't no pretty poem on a bed of roses mostly soaking in my sweat, broken. Searching for some secrets to shed some light on exactly why my brain is constantly concocting new reasons to cabbage patch off of the path after all the years we subtract the bad math and that Thank Ma for my education, I don't thank god or the devil ever made it as a man. Dammit, DIY bandit, codefendant, till the day I can't stand it. Enter cameo, you didn't expect The code effigy causing the train wreck Giving people what I know they don't want I'm your patsy neophyte dilettante Should have never seen the things I did Bodies shot in the street by the age of ten Police had my ass beat, pepper sprayed me Hell on earth, 95 mobb deep Peace, quiet sleep, home street Riot fiends roam, hit a bip, rob, scheme, Catch a lick and get gone, spit it straight to the front of your face Eyes up, I'm not the one today We were young once, childhood quickly left us Had to figure out tactics, how to live, how to make a bag, We were only kids. --- FOLLOW ON SOCIALS https://thisiscrimewave.ffm.to/codefe...
